While speaking spontaneously, speakers often make errors such as self-correction or false starts which interfere with the successful application of natural language processing tec...
In previous research in automatic verb classification, syntactic features have proved the most useful features, although manual classifications rely heavily on semantic features. ...
This paper shows that discriminative reranking with an averaged perceptron model yields substantial improvements in realization quality with CCG. The paper confirms the utility of...
System combination has emerged as a powerful method for machine translation (MT). This paper pursues a joint optimization strategy for combining outputs from multiple MT systems, ...
There is plenty of evidence that emotion analysis has many valuable applications. In this study a blog emotion corpus is constructed for Chinese emotional expression analysis. Thi...
Many statistical translation models can be regarded as weighted logical deduction. Under this paradigm, we use weights from the expectation semiring (Eisner, 2002), to compute fir...
Sets of lexical items sharing a significant aspect of their meaning (concepts) are fundamental in linguistics and NLP. Manual concept compilation is labor intensive, error prone a...
This paper proposes a novel method to refine the grammars in parsing by utilizing semantic knowledge from HowNet. Based on the hierarchical state-split approach, which can refine ...

This paper presents a simple and effective approach to improve dependency parsing by using subtrees from auto-parsed data. First, we use a baseline parser to parse large-scale una...
Current statistical machine translation (SMT) systems are trained on sentencealigned and word-aligned parallel text collected from various sources. Translation model parameters ar...
